Fat Tuesday

Happy Fat Tuesday to everyone out there.
Ash Wednesday tomorrow.

Going out tonight but to celebrate one of the Princess's birthday.

Time's have sure changed.
When I was growing up Lent was void of anything that was considered celebratory.
Weddings were not performed in the Catholic Church at my house my grandmother did not allow us to play cards during lent or any of the other things we did for pleasure.
Of course no TV anyway so did not have to give that up.
There was a lot of church going. 
No movie going except maybe on Sunday.
No eating of meat any day of the week and only one big meal a day.
We all got slimmer back in those days.
Do you think we were more holy?
